Mostly in companies the library expenditure was/is shown for tax benefits, like social welfare of employees. Hence basics of libraries are not thought over and just some budget to purchase books & Magazines(not Journals) and some place with tables and chairs is provided. In the course of time the librarian and library is absorbed in some form in company except library. may be publication department or so.and librarian is posted somewhere in the company or fired. It is all oweners' wish and any CEO who has interest in Library & books. Librarians are not even middle managers who are in the companies main stream of flow of information. anila fadnavis --- On Wed, 12/3/08, Mailing List Admin <mailman@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> wrote: From: Mailing List Admin <mailman@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Training for corporate librarianship To: lis-forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Date: Wednesday, December 3, 2008, 10:53 AM Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2008 20:17:49 +0530 From: atanu garai <atanugarai.lists@gmail.com> Dear Professors, I am very glad to interact with you all again, as I always look for opportunities to ask questions to teachers. Let me be very honest here. I will of course agree to what is said regarding the imminent need for improving the quality of intake and output of LIS incumbents. There is no doubt about it. But, this is just one side of the coin. [truncated]
